Rebuilding New Rome 1118-1143

Beschreibung

The first English language study on John II Komnenos, re-evaluating an emperor traditionally overlooked in favour of his more famous father and son. The study addresses the empire's neighbours and rivals, the turning points of ecclesiastical history, the shaping of the crusader movement, and the workings of Byzantine government and administration.
